WRITING+WORKSHOP

Writing Workshop is a central piece of this eighth grade English class. Several classes a week are devoted to learning about, preparing for, and engaging in writing. This web page offers you, the student, a forum for publication. You will be writing in class, at home, and in the computer lab at school. When you are convinced that the work you have produced is ready for publication, you will make an entry in the Writing Room that corresponds to the teacher with whom you are currently studying.

Why am I publishing my work? All writing, by its very nature, demands an audience. Even the most personal of writing, the diary, is written so that we may look back on, and better appreciate or understand our own experiences. The writing that you will be working on this year is less personal and private than a diary, You will grow more fully as a writer if you offer your work up for publication.
